(review) Millington – ‘Welcome Home’

Millington are coming from Albany, New York and this is their brand new release containing six songs. The music of this band can be categorized as a mixture of melodic punk and ska with some hardcore influences that can especially be heard in the title song. Combination of strong punk rock guitar melodies and brass instruments give a refreshing formula that is similar to, if I must describe it, to Less Than Jake, Mad Caddies and such bands. Vocal lines are bordering on pop punk and backing vocals give much space to singing along, shouting gang back up vocals, relating to the lyrics being sung and bands like these bring smile on my face because they make me believe life is worth living still. Besides the title song, my other personal favorites on this little record are ‘Push Your Luck’ and ‘Hollywood’. Great band and great record!
